The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has announced new fuel prices effective Saturday 5 December 2020.

The price of diesel is now ZWL$97.24 and US$1.19 per litre, while that for petrol is now ZWL$97.44 and US$1.19 per litre.

Diesel was previously sold at below USD$1 and ZWL$82 but is now at par with petrol.

The hike in diesel price comes as the country goes into festive season marked by travelling which is likely to affect bus fares.
